the day the hens became media stars

There was a bit of filming of chickens and pigs and apparently a whole lot of food.

I was mostly busy washing and delivering eggs.

Adam was just out of shot fixing the electric fence.

And just off to their left was the pen of meat birds, scheduled to have One Bad Day next Tuesday, and of which, before I even figured out a proper mailing list, I've managed to pre-sell the lot. Really very happy about that. Very excited that a fabulous local restaurant is taking some, plus one of our pigs.

Which leave us with, er, carrots and potatos for dinner? Oops. Not long till September is it? We'll be scheduling new batches every three weeks then, with a total of two new pens in planning!

Wow…have only just found your wonderful blog and have spent way too much of my precious quiet time while the twins are asleep reading all your posts lol!!

I have often watched that cooking show and your beautiful farm seems like the perfect location…but how surreal for you it must have been…going about your everyday jobs while everyone having a little party in your paddock!

What a fantastic space you have here in blogland and ‘real’ life …i so wish our paddocks looked that nice although the other half is labouring away with the excavator out there now while i ‘labour’ here at the computer!! Our 3 chooks and their little tractor pale in comparison to all those chooks of yours!

Anyway, just wanted to say a little hi and let you know how much i have enjoyed reading about your life and family…shall be a regular now…have a lovely weekend!
